[絵本] 〔3〕 徳川十五代記

牧金之助 編 · 1885 · 牧金之助 · 19 pictures

An 1885 Japanese ehon picture book, compiled by Maki Kinnosuke and published by Maki himself, presenting a genealogy of the Tokugawa shogun line for a general readership. The woodblock-style pictures show seated and standing nobles in patterned robes, with vertical Japanese text columns beside each figure; a designer might take the dense ink-line hatching, the repeated textile patterns on robes, and the boxed panel layout with text inset beside figures.
